Our judicial system would be great if they actually followed protocol. There is too much politics, who knows who, over crowding in prisons allowing for way too many nolle prosquis and stet verdicts. Too many dismissals when the evidence is there. Honestly, I don’t hold much faith in our judicial system at all.

What do you think about convictions where the evidence is not there?

the evidence may be there , BUT ....

“The declaration may be made because the charges cannot be proved, the evidence has demonstrated either innocence or a fatal flaw in the prosecution’s claim, or the prosecutor no longer thinks the accused is guilty, and/or the accused has died. It is generally made after indictment, but is not a guarantee that the person will not be reindicted “

for example, if witnesses can not be found or brought forth, the victim does not want a court hearing ...there will be no prosecution even IF the evidence is there.

Our judicial system is terrible...but it is better than any other!
